TRAGEDY AUGUST 13 '98
SECTION 103
“Say that you will do a Buddhist Statue transaction in a certain place. That way, I'm sure the people who follow you will report to their superiors.”
“And send a professional to the place you are going. While you and your boss are transacting, I will secretly monitor you from a distance using sniper.”
“Shoot dead people who are in that place, if necessary.”
“Wah, you are indeed very intelligent.” The Emir nodded in understanding.
“The problem is, it is very difficult to find the right place for the shootout to take place,” added Zaid.
“You don't have to think about that. There's a good place to do that here. I'll talk to my boss, then bring the equipment you need. I'll also send you the location later.”
“By the way, what about that woman, Anna? Did you manage to snatch her heart?”
“Almost succeeded. Take it easy, I'm sure he's been thinking about me all day.” Zaid.
Justright. Which woman is not confused when she meets and is treated by men like Zaid.
Sometimes Zaid is sweet, sometimes evil, sometimes cold. All of those attitudes must have made a woman think all day long.

Day by day passed. Every night, Zaid and the Emir make all preparations to lure out enemies looking for the Buddha Statue.
A few days earlier, the Emir had done what Zaid had said. The people who follow him must have reported to his employer, where and when the transaction will take place.
One day before the plan, Emir and Zaid prepared all the equipment he needed.
Bulletproof vests, snipers, Tokarev pistols, and various types of bullets exist.
And surely Zaid was also preparing a backup plan, if the plan didn't work.
“Do you have time tomorrow? Let's meet and talk in person.” That's the text message from Anna.
Zaid grinned widely. The plan went according to his wishes. Anna must have started to fall for Zaid.
However, Zaid did not reply or even open the message. Zaid just read it through the notification, then let it go.
One hour, two hours, three hours, Zaid just left the message unanswered. It must have made Anna wonder and upset that she was waiting for her message to go unrequited.
Zaid remained focused on the plan he was going to do tomorrow, and relaxed for a moment while reading a book as he grew tired.
Until the message notification from Anna also reappeared, but, this time the Emir read it, because Zaid left his phone on the table, when he laid himself on the sofa.
“Hey, don't you have to meet this woman? Look at! He keeps sending you messages. Are you busy? That was the last message I read. You said, dating was about reaction, wasn't it?”
“Already, you won't understand what I'm doing right now. Sometimes, doing nothing is the best reaction. Right now I have to ignore it for a while.”
“So she started thinking why I didn't reply to her message.”
“Alright, then. It's up to you.” The Emir continued his work that was almost over.

Next day. At 5 p.m., in a building construction that failed to be built. In that place the submission and transaction of the Buddha Statue will occur.
The buildings are towering, but, just cement, with an unfinished cast.
Red bricks, cement, sand were also seen scattered around the failed construction. All of it was covered with thin snow on it.
